With the holidays fast approaching, Dr. Sasha De Jesus joined Inside South Florida to share strategies for staying on track with wellness goals while still enjoying the season’s festivities. Working as a preventative cardiologist and obesity medicine specialist for MetaboliK Health, Dr. De Jesus emphasized planning as the key to success when navigating holiday temptations, whether you're on a fitness journey or focusing on nutrition.
Holiday Travel Tips:
- Healthy Snacks: Avoid gas station and airport junk food by packing healthy snacks.
- Exercise Flexibility: If you can’t get to a gym, stay active by going for a walk or using workout videos that don’t require equipment.
Thanksgiving Plate Tips:
- Balance Your Plate: Fill half with non-starchy vegetables, add lean protein like turkey, and choose lighter dessert options like pumpkin pie instead of pecan pie.
- Healthier Swaps: Replace candied yams with roasted sweet potatoes for a nutritious twist on classic flavors.
